My blog hasn't been working, therefore I have had to keep a record book and then transfer the information onto my blog. This may take a while so Im sorry for the lateness of my coursework information.

Thursday 11th june;

For my media A2 coursework I am to choose from a choice of 13 briefs.

For each of the briefs there is a main task and then 3 bullet points from which I am to choose two to produce for the end product.

Brief 1 is a music video

Brief 3 is a web pop-up

Brief 7 is a snippet of a documentary tv programme

All of these briefs appeal to me. However Brief 1 is similar to what I did in AS as for that I had to produce a music magazine, therefore I would prefer to work on something different. Brief 3 also sound interesting however the web pop-up may be difficult as I am not used to working with the different programmes that will be used to produce it. Also the school may not have the technology to do it. I would love to be able to produce something different and able to further my media experiences with different programmes and technologies however to be able to make the end product my best ability I think sticking to what I am comfortable with would be best. Brief 7 therefore is the one I have chosen as it is producing a documentary for a TV programme. I would enable me to further my media abilities as I haven't ever worked with moving image, yet I would feel comfortable with the filming as I have done editing before.

Included in brief 7 is; An extract from a new documentary TV programme, lasting approximately five minutes, together with two of the following options; a radio trailer for the documentary, a double page spread from a listings magazine focused on documentaries, a newspaper advertisement for a documentary.

The two subsidiary tasks I have chosen to do alongside the main task is a double page spread from a listings magazine focused on documentary and a newspaper advertisement for a documentary. This is as these are the two i am most comfortable with.
